Windows key can be remapped easily.

And the cable channel, those things has been around for ages. I have it with my At101w, and god knows how old is this keyboard.
As to making it detachable+channel, maybe it was Ducky,or is it Leopold/Archiss?

LOL... me also RUBBER DO NOT WANT!!!
Btw, i was wondering why they coat those so-called gaming mice with rubber anyway? Is it a compulsory for rubberized surface be implemented if it is a high end mouse??? Wonder who gets the idea of coating them with rubber in the first place...

Else who would buy a new mouse even their mouse don't break down? During my Engineering Course - Design module, we are forced to create a product with specific life cycle so sales would come..

Razer works this pretty good haha

exactly razer wants their products to not last long , so the sales can come in...

Im.... virtually speechless..... so there IS quality control at Razer's factory after all....

most of the mechanical keyboard got no numpad ??

No, some people don't really use numpad side so they came up one with numpad-less, it will be cheaper that way.

Personally, I'm picky about the type of stabilizer used for bigger keys.
Both stabilizer works well but they each have their pros and cons.

Filco - Costar stabilizer retains the feel of the switch but changing keycaps is more troublesome.
Leopold - Cherry stabilizer make changing keycaps a breeze but it makes the switch feel different.

Both are great keyboard regardless.
In Singapore, Filco and Leopold are the same price of SGD$179. Without a doubt, I would pick the Filco.
In Malaysia, Filco are RM4XX and Leopold are RM345. Leopold are definitely a great buy.

If money is not a problem, just go with the Filco.

Lol'd

Yet... so true... even the truth hurts...*LMAO*
But not every product they expect to last long , that's why RMA is there.

how about the Ducky? However it once gave you bad experience on quality issue
you should had give them another chance too

haha if the Leopold cost only 345 I think no harm buy 1 and play with it

you see, QC works this way. imagine you are the worker
1) Boss this key a bit off, let it go? Boss: aiya this 1 won't do any harm, just release it
2) Boss this switch doesn't feel like the others? Boss: you sure it don't feel like others? Do you feel that you are losing your bonus too?
3) Boss this keyboard seems a bit uneven? Boss: throw it away, we only want perfect parts
4) Boss this keyboard won't work at all.. Boss: hmm maybe there's ppl who too busy to exchange, let put it through and hope for it.

That's how concept of QC works, even you have world class machinery, error still could happen and it's QC that makes the final quality great. That's what I learned from working in manufacturing line

I am not pro on Mech keyboard like but so far I'm satisfied because no comparison xD
Already have 2 Ducky

Erm.. Which places got sell mechanical keyboard and allows us to test it before purchasing ?/

Razer I think it's easy.. Rest of it.. You might wanna think of a mech keyboard gathering haha

Czone, my friend was allowed to test all the switches before she buy.

hmmm ... Maybe dont want to get Razer anymore.. Since a lot of ppl complaining bout the quality already.. all use shortwhile only.

I see .. Thx =D ..

The problem is Ducky 9000 cost SGD$165 while Filco and Leopold cost SGD$179.
Why would anyone bother with Ducky when it's $14 away from the cream of the crop?

1. I dislike Cherry stabilizers.
2. People everywhere are facing problems with Ducky. Some of the problems : keycaps that shattered, keys failing, faulty pcb lines.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I will never be fooled twice by Ducky.

Unless Ducky is willing to send me one at least for review, my opinion will not change. They can even have the keyboard back once I reviewed it.

So far, i do own filco, ducky and one old IBM kb. i don't sense much different in stabilizers issue on spacebar or enter. erm, well this might be personal flavor?

There's no doubt overall quality is better for Filco over Ducky. But you can't make a statement that looks like only Ducky fails. I just google with some keywords "filco keyboard failed" and what? Tadaa~ there are cases too!

You must be very unlucky for that Ducky unit. feel sorry for your case(s). But you're in Singapore, i cant do much help here.

anyhow, here is Malaysia, not Singapore... Local Filco selling not cheap here. but yes Leopold is cheaper which offered by Bro Cyclonechua (good job lads )

Yes, Filco indeed do have some cases too but most are not due to QC.
The Filco failures are mostly due to user error(spillage) and recently "Ping of Death"

Note that Filco have been around of a long time and don't have as many failure as Ducky who is new.

I currently facing the squeezy sounds on my backspace key, but it doesn't matter much tho. :S

btw, mind to elaborate what's "ping of death" ?

It matter alot especially when you are paying so much for a keyboard.
Some grease should solve your squeaky sound.



This is the "Ping of Death" which can happen to all mechanical keyboards. Some people hear it, most people don't.


I have a Filco that have a key that pings but I can only hear the pinging if I put my ear 5cm away and typing on it unnaturally.
There's a "War On Ping" or "Ping Of War" going on at geekhack.
